Re: Best way to edit Linux files in z/VM 3270
Also remember that for ".conf" files that are assigning values to environment variables, last assignment wins. So, sometimes I just use "echo" to append a new value to the file so that I can get the system up. (3270 copy and paste also helps input the line.) Then later on I use vi to remove the duplicate assignment.

Project mgmt software
Kind of as an extension to Mike M's looking for a problem tracking system, does anyone use a Project mgmt tool on z...either VM or linux on Z?

QEMU sans KVM

Speaking of which ... does anyone know the ins-and-outs of using QEMU for z "guests" without KVM? I've used QEMU to present other architectures. (Was running SPARC just last week.)

The para-virt disk and NIC are nice for a lot of use cases, but they present a short-fall in the grand picture of full capability we all hope to see. Hercules works fine. Nothing wrong with it, except that libvirt won't talk to it. Ah! Now there's a novel idea: hypervisors and emulators which can be managed through a common utility or protocol. So QEMU is interesting if perhaps I can launch 'virt-mangler' and bring my Linux/390 into the same console as the other kiddos. -- R; <>< -- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@vm.marist.edu with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 -- For more information on Linux on System z, visit http://wiki.linuxvm.org/

I've used it many times.

Re: Best way to edit Linux files in z/VM 3270
Indeed, sed/awk can be used. Or check out the rpl package, but still that is just a command to replace strings from the command line, just like sed. The only times I need to use the 3270 console is when the network (ssh) is not available. In that case we have the option to shutdown the machine, since it's not available to the customer anyway. Then we can link/mount the disks in our emergency system and use vi (or whatever full-screen editor) from there. Regards, Berry.
